Hummelfjell around
The route goes south-east from Røros through Hådalen in the direction of Femunden. Before Femunden we take Grådalsveien west down to Tufsingdalen. Grådalen is a nice gravel road in a beautiful terrain along streams and rivers.
The road then continues towards Narbuvoll where we again take the west over the mountain towards Sømådalen. Here it can be nice to stop to enjoy a great view and maybe a packed lunch and some coffee.
The trip continues down to Tolga and further up Dalsbygda, again along fine gravel roads. A detour to Forollhogna National Park has been added here.
The route then goes back towards Os and drives past the exit to the top of Hummelfjell (Gråhøgda 1543 meters is Norway's 4th highest road, but unfortunately closed with a barrier). There will be another gravel road via Tjønnvollan to Høystad and Galåen, before we take a turn west of Røros and end the trip over Erlia and back to Hotell Røros.
This round has toll roads.
Early in the year, some gravel roads may still be closed for the winter, but then you can let your creativity run wild.
Be careful around cows and horses. There is no shame in stopping and turning off the engine until they have passed.
